Tianzhu's Reputation
Chapter 50 Tianzhu's Reputation
For now, all of the branch families of the Zhang clan have already chosen their top five strongest youths.
As soon as the mock competition ended, they immediately let their top five rankers trained and cultivated nonstop. Some branch families even have already departed to the capital city. Some used the Flying Spirit Ships, some used Spirit Beast or Demonic Beast as their transportations.
As for the southern Zhang family branch where Zhang Hongxie stayed in, had already departed to the capital too. For the training, the five youths could just cultivate on the Flying Spirit Ship. This was a rare occasion so the patriarch let some other elite disciples came with them too, it was also for them to broad their horizon, witnessing the outside world, how strong are the people in the capital. Those youths couldn't keep themselves calm at all, they were nervous yet also excited, they were very eager to see the prosperous capital city, Divine Elements City.
The Flying Spirit Ship wasn't fast nor slow, the distance between the Blue Leaf Country and the Divine Elements City wasn't too far. They would only need two weeks to arrive there.
Soon, two weeks have passed
From afar, all the people on the Flying Spirit Ship could see a very big and vast city that full of big and luxurious buildings, cultivators could be seen everywhere, some were riding their pet beasts, some riding on their flying sword and there were even the ones who didn't use anything, they simply only used their Qi to fly. This scene caused many young youths to feel awe, when the patriarch and the elders saw this they couldn't help but chuckled, they weren't any different from them when they were young.
"Finally, I'm back here again. The Divine Elements Capital City" the patriarch murmured to himself, he couldn't help but clenched his fist tightly.
"Alright guys, prepare yourself, we will stop at the city gate and then we will continue by foot." The patriarch announced.
After a few minutes, the ship finally landed in front of the giant city gate. The nearby people immediately discussed to each other when they saw this ship, "Look, that ship has the Zhang clan's logo. They must be from the branch family of the Zhang clan."
"That's right, I remember that the Zhang clan's Qing Sai Banquet Party will start soon. Every seven years, the Zhang clan would celebrate this party and not many people could watch this competition, only the upper echelons of some clans could attend this party."
After Zhang Hongxie and the others left the ship, the patriarch waved his hands and the Flying Spirit Ship instantly disappeared and got stored inside his golden storage ring. In his group, only him had the Zhang Clan Emblem Logo, as soon as his group arrived in front of the city guards, the guards appeared to be very respectful toward him, they didn't dare to ask for the entry fee or anything. So the group could enter the city smoothly via the VIP gate near the general gate, this was the special privilege that the patriarch could enjoy when entering the Divine Elements Capital City, only because of a Zhang Clan Emblem Logo.
"Guys, don't run off to anywhere, follow me closely behind. We'll go to stay at an inn for the night." The patriarch said to the group.
After walking for twenty minutes, they finally found a good inn to stay at. Right now it was evening so after some considerations, the patriarch decided to call a few elders and went to the Zhang clan to give a report with him.
…
After a while, they arrived in front of a big gates, on it was a big golden plaque with two big words on the surface, "张族"(Zhang Clan). There were four strong looking guards stood firmly in front of the gate, "Halt!" the guards said.
"I come to give the report of my branch's arrival." The patriarch said.
"Follow me." One of the guard just directly said to the group, then they followed the guard obediently behind.
After sometime, they arrived at the Information and Reporting Hall.
"Greeting elder Bai." The patriarch bowed to an elder.
"Un, you must be from a branch clan right?" Elder Bai asked.
"Yes elder, I am the Blue Leaf Country Zhang clan's branch's patriarch, Le Ru." Patriarch Le Ru answered.
"Okay, then take this form to fill in." Elder Bai said as he gave a few papers to patriarch Le Ru.
…
After sometimes he full-filled the form and gave it back to the elders.
Elder Bai looked at the form for sometimes and said "Hmm, you have an outstanding seedling here, practiced the Fire Buddha Palm to the Breaking Boundary Stage, this child could be said to be a very rare genius, if this guy could obtain the number one then maybe, just maybe, there's a slight chance that he could accompany little young lord Tianzhu. I heard young lord Lijun said that, little young lord Tianzhu had practiced a lot of techniques to the Origin Returning Stage already. This feat, not even the clan's founder could achieve, our Zhang clan really got blessed by the heaven to have such a heaven defying genius." Elder Bai said excitedly. "Alright, help me relay my words to this child Hongxie, practice and cultivate ten times more than before, he may have a slight chance to catch little young lord Tianzhu's eyes.
Patriarch Le Ru listened by the side was shocked greatly by what elder Bai told him, he heard that young master Tianzhu is a supreme genius but he never thought that he still underestimated him, this was a godly genius, not to mention Origin Returning Stage, even the Full Mastery Stage is considered the impossible for him already. Maybe he could practice a technique to the Origin Returning Stage if given him a few million years but he doubted if he could live that long, not to mention his cultivation is now stuck at the bottleneck.
"Thank you elder, I will tell Hongxie to work very hard, this one may take my leave now." Patriarch went in daze for a while before came back to reality and clasped his hands and bowed toward elder Bai before leaving.
…
"Father, should we let little Tianzhu participate the Qing Sai Banquet Party?" Zhang Lijun asked his father.
"Cheh, this is impossible, if he were to accidentally kill his opponents then it will be troublesome. Just by releasing his aura alone could already suffocate those youths to death, not to mention fighting them, what's more even if you force Tianzhu to participate the competition, I'm sure he won't agree. You already know his personality, he is like an old hermit, since he started to cultivate four years ago, he rarely played with the other kids. He only cultivates, drinking tea, browsing through books, watering the plants and sometimes I even saw him lectured some brats and lasses as if he was an elder lecturing the young ones." Grandpa Zhang replied to his son.
"I see, then I will tell the other people that, Tianzhu's cultivation is already much higher than those youths so participating will only make him bullying the weak." Zhang Lijun said to grandpa Zhang.
"Right. Have you already handed out the invitations to those old men?" Grandpa Zhang asked.
"Oh I already handed out two days ago." Zhang Lijun immediately replied.
…
Nowadays, Tianzhu's reputation could be said that, even the lowest peasants and beggars also knew and heard of him. Everyone regarded as the number one prodigy, number one genius, they even gave him the title "Heavenly Saint Child". Although they rarely saw him for these years, but they still heard the feats that a normal seven years old child couldn't do, such as achieving the Element Saint Realm while he was just seven years old, this was also why they gave him that title. He also practiced a lot of techniques to the legendary second stage, the Origin Returning Stage, just this alone could already make a number one genius already. He could also defeat the elders of his clan who had cultivation higher than him. They also heard that he is an Alchemist, Divine Inscription and a Formation Master too, however, they still didn't know which rank was he in those professions.
The people also knew that he was the most handsome youth in the entire country, he was simply an ideal husband for all the girls. A lot of old farts of the noble family and some big clans also went to propose the marriage but to no vail, Tianzhu didn't agree to them and his parents and grandfather didn't dare to force him too. Well, those old farts found it weird that the Patriarch Zhang didn't dare to force his grandson, there was something fishy here, could it be he had already engaged his grandson to a hidden clan's lass in the secret without them knowing, or maybe that pretty boy Tianzhu already had his own…lover?! Well it's unlikely though but the first reason is likely.
